Hello all, a couple of weeks ago I decided to try out a homebrew from a can. I normally do BIAB in 9 litre batches but I wanted to see if I could get anything decent from a kit. Did a bit of research and used a can of coopers pale ale plus a brew enhancer. Now I followed the instructions from here: http://www.coopers.com.au/the-brewers-guild/how-to-brew/ale/coopers-pale-ale but once it was all in the fermentor I noticed a lot of the goop just sitting on the bottom. I thought maybe it will just disolve with time and let it go. Now 10 days later, I had a taste out of the test tube and while it tastes ok, its very watery and there is a lot of goo still sitting on the bottom of the fermentor.
I read the instructions again just now :
I'm pretty sure I poured in the can after the cold water....
I take it I should have poured it into the 2 litres of hot water?
And is there anything I can do this late to fix it? It's not a big deal if I can't, a good lesson to reading instructions more carefully in the future.
Thanks.
I read the instructions again just now :
- Place dry ingredients into a drained fermenter and add 2 litres of hot water.
- Pick the fermenter up immediately and swirl the contents until dissolved - 30 secs.
- Empty the contents of the can and dissolve
- Top up with cold water to the 23 litre mark
